Cleveland Police Department and Cleveland Municipal Court are participating in a statewide warrant round-up the week of March 5-13. Anyone with an outstanding fine is encouraged to pay the fine in advance of the round-up.

“You will be arrested in your home, place of business or wherever found,” the statement from Cleveland Municipal Court reads. “Act immediately to avoid arrest.”

Anyone with an outstanding fine is subject to it being reported to the Texas Department of Public Safety for non-renewal of the person’s driver’s license. Only full payment will clear the status with DPS and restore renewal of the license.

There are four ways remit payment. These are in person, by mail, by phone and through the city’s website.

To appear in person, go to Cleveland Police Department, 226 Peach Ave., Cleveland, Monday-Friday, Feb. 29-March 4, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Mail-in payments may be submitted to the address above by adding the city’s zip code of 77327. If you mail in your payment, the warrant will remain active until posted by the court.

To pay by phone, call 281-592-5639. Credit cards must be in the defendant’s name to pay by phone.
